Reflectance Cell Holder
This is a measurement method that calculates the relative reflectance (%) by comparing the intensity of light that undergoes specular reflection from the sample surface against light reflected from a reference sample.
An aluminum-coated Standard Mirror is set as the 100% reflectance reference, and the reflective characteristics of the sample are quantitatively evaluated through the light intensity ratio reflected from the sample. This method is highly sensitive to surface condition, film thickness, and coating uniformity, making it ideal for comparative and evaluation purposes rather than absolute reflectance.
Measurement Angle (Incident Angle) and Polarization Effects
Specular reflectance measurement has the advantage of being minimally affected by polarization as the incident angle decreases. Generally, an incident angle in the range of 5°~10° is commonly used.
Application Fields
While an Integrating Sphere collects all reflected light, this accessory selectively measures only the specular reflection component, enabling more sensitive analysis of surface characteristics.
